Default looks good but.....

i personally dont like the S4 Avus Rims on an A4 because it's poserish kind of and they are big time heavy

Default That's all I've done, except one minor thing..

I replaced the ugly wood--it was "open pore"--surrounding the stereo, buttons, and climate control with an anthracite colored (dark grey, almost black, with a metallic look) panel that I purchased from Audi for $20.

Now there is still the wood strip that goes all the way around the interior and but now I have an antrhacite center trim panel. Looks much better.

No performance mods yet.

I like the Avus wheels, however they weren't my first choice. I got them in good shape for very little money, and I heard they are very strong (bad roads where I live).

Default Big time heavy, and big time strong. Unlike RS4 wheels..

I don't think it's poserish, as long as I don't think mods in general are poserish.

Anyone that knows Avus wheels were originally produced for an S4, likely knows that's not an S4.

Avus wheels ARE definitely heavy, but strong. Where I drive on a delay basis, the roads blow.

Default eBay Motors Germany! I used Google Translator extensively..

I got them for a pretty good price too:

Eur 229 Headlights ("Buy it Now")
Eur 55 Clear Corners ("Buy it Now")
Eur 45 Shipping from Germany to US

Eur 329 Total

I bought them from an eBay "Power Seller" username "herko_de" (http://www.stores.ebay.de/autotuningcarparts/plistings/list/all/dept8/index.html). This organization has 17 480 transaction with 98.3 % positive feedback. All of the feedback was in German, I didn't bother to translate it because it stopped making sense because people were using such informal language (I assume that's why it translated into mostly nonsense).<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=2415169940&amp;cat egory=23009">http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=2415169940&amp;cat egory=23009</a</li></ul>
